The Shepherd King Series, 2 Books Collection, One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns, by Rachel Gillig

Dark fantasy. Unique magic system. Some spice, but mostly pretty tame.

This series needs to become a movie, it was so good, and unique. It would be a PG13 rating, just shows doesn't have to be fully spicy to be a great read!

I could not put these two books down. Two Twisted Crowns in particular had me completely enthralled. There was a moment when I was furious; Hoth’s return tested every emotion in me, but I was absolutely rooting for Raven, for Elf, for Aion, and oh, Elm… what an endearing, unforgettable soul. The way the story wove itself together was nothing short of magnificent. ⭐ Five stars, without hesitation. If you adored Two Twisted Crowns, I highly recommend “One Dark Window” by Rachel Gillig. It is haunting, romantic, and lushly written, the perfect continuation of that gothic fantasy ache you’ll crave after turning the final page.

I just could not get into this one. It was very confusing and slow at the beginning and I didn't get invested in any of the characters really except Elspeth and the Nightmare. I am not a fan of fantasy or magic books so this really wasn't for me so take review with grain of salt
